Heirloom Teapot 9" x 12" Oil on Canvas SOLD

This is an Apollo silver teapot passed down to us from my wife's relatives, circa 1910-1920. I wanted to try a still life because I've never really done one before and there are a lot of really interesting still life paintings by modern artists on the web today. Still life seems to no longer be confined to traditional feminine settings of roses in vases on tablecloth. Any object or part of can be the subject of a still life and it's neat to see how artists interpret & execute even the most mundane objects and make them visually exciting.
